Bernie Sanders Wins Wisconsin Democratic Primary, Adding to Momentum

By ALAN RAPPORT
APRIL 5, 2016

Senator Bernie Sanders won Wisconsin’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, eating into Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead and extending his recent stretch of victories.

Mr. Sanders still faces an uphill fight for the Democratic nomination, but his message of economic populism continues to resonate with progressive voters.

While Mrs. Clinton was trailing in recent Wisconsin polls, she was working hard for a victory in the state. She now faces an important contest in New York later this month and will be under increased pressure to get her campaign back on track.

There were 96 delegates at stake for Democrats in Wisconsin.

36. This was an interesting electoral map.

It looks like Bernie won every single county except ONE. Polk County which Hillary is shown to have one. Did great in Madison of course. Interesting, and curious her numbers are as high as it's shown to be when Bernie every county in the state except for Polk County. I'm guessing it's a pretty conservative county.

and others close to the process... you can better decide if games were played.

But one county.

Wow.
